Wind Capital develops project using 1.5-megawatt turbine

Nov. 11

Wind Capital Group is developing a new wind project in Lost Creek, Mo., using 1.5-megawatt wind turbine technology supplied by General Electric Co.

The Lost Creek project supports Missouri’s Clean Air Initiative, which calls for 15% of the state’s power to be generated from renewable resources by 2021. When it enters commercial service in the spring of 2010, the project will have the capacity to generate 150 megawatts of electricity, enough to power more than 50,000 homes.

GE is supplying and servicing 100 of its 1.5-MW units for the project. Power generated at Lost Creek will be sold under a 20-year power purchase agreement to Associated Electric Cooperative.
